Does it feel unnatural becase you're using a pen, and its drawing it on the screen instead of where you are writing with the pen??? I dunno... i dont have a graphire yet, despite my excitement that i was in a few months ago of getting one. lol. I instead spent close to 600 bux for x-mas on my snowboard, having muchos more fun, but ill get a wacom sooner or later

Using it does get easier over time (When I first used my wacom I remember flinging the pointer over the whole damn screen), but it's hard to get the exact same feeling as with pen and paper: the surface is more slippery, and you're drawing on a screen.
